Top seller of flat-screen TVs beats Samsung record; gives no indication when item will hit shelves.

TOKYO (Reuters) - Matsu****a Electric Industrial, the maker of Panasonic products, said Thursday it had developed a prototype of a 103-inch plasma display panel, the world's largest such screen.

The prototype, which will be on display at the annual Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas from Thursday, appears to put Matsu****a slightly ahead of South Korea's Samsung Electronics for bragging rights over who can develop the biggest flat TV.

Samsung grabbed headlines at last year's CES by unveiling a 102-inch plasma display prototype. Neither company has made clear when or if these monster screens will actually reach store shelves or at what price.

Samsung boasts the largest plasma TV now on the market, having started sales of an 80-inch model in South Korea in October for a whopping 130 million won ($130,200).

Matsu****a recently began selling a 65-inch plasma set for about 1 million yen ($8,614) in Japan.

Matsu****a, the world's top seller of plasma TVs, said the bulk of demand for the 103-inch set would probably come from businesses, schools and medical institutions, but it also saw demand from consumers looking to set up home theatres.

Matsu****a said the prototype met full high-definition specifications, meaning it can produce images at the highest standard of 1,920-by-1,080 pixels of resolution.

Developing panels able to display a full high-definition picture has been a major challenge for plasma makers because of numerous hurdles inherent in the technology.

They'll have to mount it under the car and have a hydrolic arm that lifts the car for viewing.

Get two and mount them on one of these. Add a column of four 12 inch speakers on both sides of each screen (probably won't need a subwoofer with all that), and neon under the bottom. Toss on some spinners and have the back open up for storing your cold beverages. Party on wheels!

The movie stars are already complaining about HD in that it shows every little blemish on their faces, imagine what this would do.
